Interesting Fender Squier Bass

[bassbloke]

One of these was very nearly my first 5 string bass. I'd placed a deposit on it and everything, but sacrificed the £20 in favour of buying a Charvel Fusion 5 string in my local music shop.

Supposed to be good instruments and could be an absolute steal

Good job you did'nt get as this 5 string only has 4 strings - you' d have been disappointed by that missing B string no doubt!

Do tell more. Any idea of the specs (active/passive, where made...)

They are passive, I refinished mine (click on Speedster GT in my Sig for pics) so I don't know where it was made but I wouldn't be suprised if it was Japenese due to the quality.

Gosh, that looks really nice. Great refinish.

I suspect that it may be MIJ too, I used to have an eighties Strat that had very similar logo to that, it was really high quality & I should never have sold it.

[bassbloke]

It'll be Japanese and very well made - possibly even made in the Hertfield factory.

It'll propbably be better quality than a MIM Fender.

Looks like you could cut yourself on the headstock.
